At Juniper & Thorn, every piece begins as a conversation — your vision, your meaning, our craft. Custom tattoo artistry that honors the art and the person beneath it.
From first sketch to final touch-up, every service is tailored to your vision and comfort.
Every tattoo starts with a conversation. We create original artwork that's uniquely yours — no stencils, no shortcuts.
Whether it's fine-line detail, bold blackwork, or vibrant color — we bring your vision to life with precision and care.
Old pieces don't define you. We transform faded or unwanted tattoos into something you'll be proud to show.
Your tattoo's longevity matters. We guide you through aftercare with products and advice that keep your art fresh.
Not sure where to start? Bring your ideas — or none at all. We'll help you find the right design, placement, and size.
Even the best tattoos need love over time. Our touch-up service keeps your work looking sharp and vibrant for years.
A selection of work from our studio — each one a collaboration between artist and client.

Serving the community with pride
Juniper & Thorn Tattoo was born from a simple belief: that the body is a canvas worth treating with reverence. Located on South Federal Avenue in the heart of Mason City, our studio is a space where artistry meets comfort.
We don't believe in cookie-cutter designs or rush appointments. Every client sits down with us first — to talk, to dream, to figure out what story they want told. That conversation shapes everything that follows.
Our studio follows the highest standards of cleanliness and safety. We use single-use needles, premium inks, and take the time your skin deserves. Whether it's your first tattoo or your tenth, you'll leave feeling seen.
Sterile, single-use equipment always
Every piece designed just for you
Relaxed studio, first-time friendly
Appointments respected, no rush
"I walked in nervous and walked out feeling like the best version of myself. The team at Juniper & Thorn made my first tattoo an experience I'll never forget."
